What happened to the Cover Creator?

What happened to the old Createspace's Cover Creator?
I used to self-publish stuff through Createspace but now it's Amazon controlled, so I guess they changed everything - for the worse, of course. There's not much to choose from in the templates anymore.
Look, this is the best I could do with the free stuff...

Not so good, huh? Does this mean I'll have to PAY for cover work now? Hell, if I get some actual sales then I could pay for it, but those are few and far between. And royalties?

Still trying to get this one finished, too...

More Sales! Castle and Ship!

Two more sales, one 'Castle' and one 'Ship'! Thank you, whoever you are, kind sir/madam/xe...
It makes me happy knowing a couple more paperbacks are out there in the world somewhere.
Looking back, there might even be almost IN TOTAL 10,000 copies of my works out there, from either sales or free promotions, excluding the freebies from Smashwords.
I'd love to know where they are... and how come no reviews are up on Amazon... maybe that's a GOOD thing...
So, perhaps the third part of the trilogy is needed...

...actually, I already have a title and a plot, I just have to sit down and put those little letters together to make words which in time make sentences, paragraphs, pages, chapters, and finally a first draft...

Here are the links to the first two (if you want an ebook copy of the 2nd, reply to this post!)

How to Build a Castle in Seven Easy Steps

How to Sink a Ship (in eight long excruciatingly terrifying stinkingly evil nights)

Here's a very old review in a UK newspaper, to wet your appetite...

Great 'review'...from my Publisher!

This doesn't often happen.
My publisher, Lion by Line, gave a 'shout out' to my book "How to Sink a Ship" on their Facebook page... or was it "How to Build a Castle"... I wasn't sure, they kinda got the title wrong in the 'shout out' but hey, beggars can't be choosers. My work was recognised!
Apparently they were at LA BookFest and people sought them out in hopes of finding sequels to ones they've enjoyed, which included mine... hang on, that means they enjoyed "How to Build a Castle".
Excellent!
One day I'll get round to writing the third installment...

Here are the two books mentioned...great covers for great stories!

Sales, Sales, Sales! Can you believe that?

Oh, it's all happening! Well, okay, there seems to be someone or a few people buying my books in the last few weeks, and not only the anthologies with other authors, but my OWN books... which is AMAZING!

Thank you, whoever you are. I know it's only one sale here, one sale there, but it all adds up and keeps me in good spirits knowing that somewhere out there, there's a reader!

Thankfully, the anthologies are always selling, which gives me some joy knowing that someone could be reading my stuff but for a moment...here are the ones...

...and then there are these...

...Circuits and Steam being a paperpack from 3 Fates Press - I have a great little story about Tracer in there... and then of course, my own books, two published by Line by Lion...

What can I say but THANK YOU! I hope you (whoever you are) enjoy the read!

(And maybe give a review or two? Please...)

WOW! Another sale?!? "How to Sink a Ship!"

Yes, this surprises me as much as anyone... someone bought another paperback of "How to Sink a Ship"!!!
Thank you, whoever you are...:-)
It's now at (or was yesterday)...

Here are the only reviews so far of my latest romp into the land of Norby and Co. If you have the time and the inclination, please go have a peek inside by using the link below...

"Pirates and Zombies collide in hilarious ways in this unlikely mash-up of genres. The result is pure laughter and distraction from the weightier matters in life. The style and tone is fairly reminiscent of Monty Python, and the writing is fantastic. Dani Caile has reached a pinnacle with this book. I wish someone would make a movie out of it so my wife and I could laugh ourselves to tears together!"

"A giggle a minute. To really appreciate this book, you have to have a quirky sense of humour. I loved it."

"Dani J Caile has used his brilliant dialogue to bring the book to life and to capture your imagination.
Fast moving and crazy with a hidden political message which doesn't show itself till the end. Very clever."
